Punishment and award can force the society to progress. But award (or praise) should be gradually eliminated from society and only punishment (or criticizing) should be applied as the society evolves. When people do things wrongly, they receive bad results, which is their required punishment from nature. As society becomes more complicated, this phenomenon is certainly becoming more common, frequent, fragmented, for which the society strongly requires people who can struggle fiercely once receiving punishment (natural or artificial). Accepting punishment (or criticism) is not that simple. It's a technique which requires training to be grasped. Award (or praise) may not be applied in the future; it may be meaningless. Making aperson hapy (for what he has done well) to motivate him is not what society want. The main purpose of awarding (or praising) a person is to stimulate others instead of to make him happy, or it makes a person become shameless, and more seriously, reducing one's technique to process his vital punishment-accepting mechanics. According to Christianity, every person is born carrying 100% sin, which has to be gradually reduced during his process of living, and this will never end because sin is infinite so however much is reduced the reduced part occupies 1/∞ constantly. Every person is doomed and has to receive God's punishments without any condition. If a person receives award (or is praised), it's like a student who does 100%-1/∞ of problems of a test paper wrongly (the number of the problems is infinite) and 1/∞ of problems rightly receives award for his doing 1/∞ of problems rightly, which is certainly ridiculous and the most shameful thing in the world.
